I've had a few reports of cards eventually going bad over the years as you can imagine across all products. (Sumsung was in the mix but not a higher rate or anything). Memory cards are the weakest link in any dashcam. We might bundle High Endurance cards in future dual products to up the longevity / quality that much more.
From my own personal experience I think there is a lot of merit in this as my setup in my car is such that the cameras turn off after 6 hours after ignition off and I've very rarely had an issue, just the very occasional format required.
Another car where the camera only comes on with the ignition has never required a format yet.
But the trucks which are still currently running 24/7 require formatting a lot and work perfectly straight after a format. I was going to get Vico power control units installed in them all but as we are about to go for a new transport certificate scheme it will require tamper proof cameras so I'll need to look at lockable hard drive systems.
I'm hoping SG will be coming out with something that uses a hard drive.
